The business of getting the pearls out of
oysters is toleraply disagreeable The
oysters thrown into large vessels and left to
die, when the shells open of their own accord
The shells then removed, but the oysters
themselves are left in buckets till they become
decomposed, when they are well stirred. The
pearls sink to the bottom, and the remainder is
poured off. 1t may be readily inferred that the
oder in the camp of pearl seekers is more pow
erful than pleasant.
The pearl had its origin in the efforts of the
oyster to protect itself from the irritation caused
by the presence of some foreign body between
the shell and its mantle. as the soft skin of the
oyster is technically termed. To mitigate the
suffering caused by this vexatious intruder the
oyster deposits thereon coating of the same
material as that of which the shell is composed
and when once this process has begun it con-
tiuues till in time the pearl grows large enough
to kill the oyster.
To the fanciful minds of oriental nations no
such crude expla nation has ever occurred, and
they still attribute to pearls much more poetic
origin. The OYSTERS they say, rise by night to
the surface OF the water, and opening their
shells receive therein single drop of dew,
This in time becomes pearl, and if the dew has
been pure and clear the pearl will be a beautiful
one; but if the drop of dew has been soiled with
impurities, then the pearl will be opaque and of
value.

little way apart and insert between the mantle
of the oyster and one of the shells few little
pellets of clay, tiny pearls or foreign bodies of
some kind. When this has been done, the
oyster is turned over, and the poor fellow is
obliged to submit to similar uncomfortable
process on his other side. He is then put back
into pond, where he is kept well and fat by d
diet more nourishing than nice. After few
months. sometimes year or two. he is again
taken from his bed. his pearls are taken out, and
he is eaten.
